• Prepare daily inventory, variance, and waste reports for review.
• Support Shift Leader in station assignments, ticket-time monitoring, and BOH cleanliness.
• Maintain temperature and sanitation logs and ensure HACCP compliance.
• Coach new BOH staff on food-safety and stockroom standards.
• Coordinate with Purchasing, Cost Control, and FOH for smooth operations.

• At least 23 years of kitchen or commissary experience with exposure to inventory/storekeeping (preferably in QSR, casual dining, or multi-branch caf).
• Knowledge of receiving, stocking, issuing, and counting processes; familiar with FIFO/FEFO systems.
• Proficient in Excel / Google Sheets; knowledge of Inventory or POS systems is an advantage.
• Strong understanding of food-safety standards (HACCP, 5S) and kitchen sanitation.
